In reply to: add tables upon installIt’s possible, although you would have to modify install-helper.php and/or upgrade-functions.php.
If you only need to create the table once it would be easier to do manually with PHPMyAdmin.

In reply to: Colors: from dark brown to light brownAlternatively, you can fade the gradient into a solid color. That way when your image runs out it smoothly flows into the background color.
body {
background: url(‘images/bg.png’) top repeat-x;
background-color: #color;

In reply to: Side bar and posts have grown enormousThere’s two errors you need to fix. The one YardOBeef mentions is in your style.css file. Right under == | MAIN LINKS |== is ‘a, .feedback a, .meta a’. You’ll see you’ve got ‘size: 2’ which is not valid. It should be something like ‘font-size: 2em;’
What’s really causing your front page to be messed is an unclosed tag. On your about.php page, just above <div id=”content”> you have </h1>. That’s closing the <h1 id=”header”>. But you don’t close that tag in your index.php file and so the rest of you page inherits h1 tag properties (which, by default, happens to include giant text).
By the way, validating is a great way to catch these silly mistakes. Head over to http://validator.w3.org/ and enter your sites URL.

In reply to: InstabilityCheck your cookies in ZoneAlarm through the privacy tab. By default ZA ‘cookie control’ is off but maybe your’s has been set higher? ZA also has the ability to expire cookies after so many days so check the ‘custom’ settings to make this isn’t set.
That’s ZA 4.5 anyway.

In reply to: My blog is messed up in Internet ExplorerIE and Mozilla browsers deal with widths and paddings differently. Right now, in IE your content and sidebar are wider than the width of your page (probably only by a few pixels). Since they can’t fit side by side one of them is forced below the other.
The easiest way to fix is to narrow your content or sidebar until both fit. (Or, if it’s opposite day, you could also make your page wider 😉

In reply to: Rotate header.jpgThe above won’t work because it’s targeting <img src=”…”> but your header image is actually applied using the CSS background property…
<style> #header { background: url(‘/blips/headers/web.jpg’) no-repeat top; height:80px;} </style>So that’s what you have to change. Try this:
<style #header { background: url(‘http://website.com/blog/rotate/rotate.php’) no-repeat top; height: 80px; } </style>Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: HTML?Moose is right, that’s the good stuff. But email options do exist if that’s the way you want to go.
Check http://wp-plugins.net/ and look under ‘Post Plugins’

In reply to: City Kidz, now powered by WordPress 1.5NPO’s and WordPress, a beautiful combination. The site is clean, well organized and full of information. Quite nice.
I agree with lawtai. Breaking the navigation into major sections allows people to scan the site and quickly see what it’s about (and where they want to go). Also, I think the programs should be under their own section rather than being lumped with ‘About City Kidz’. They’re the lifeblood of a service organization and need more prominence.
I wonder how well WP could manage as a volunteer database?

Step 5 : Run the Install Script
Using your favorite web browser, visit wp-admin/install.php within the directory into which you just installed WordPress on your web site.
* If you installed into a subdirectory called blog, you would visit http://example.com/blog/wp-admin/install.php.
* If you installed into the root directory of your web site, you would visit http://example.com/wp-admin/install.php.The install script will now guide you through what remains of the process.

In reply to: 1 blog om 2 diffrent domains and serversHey Twexs,
- Install your two blogs on the different servers as normal
- Edit both config.php files:
- The db_name, db_user, db_password will be the same for both blogs.
- The db_host line will differ. The blog that’s on the same server as the database should be able to use ‘localhost’. The other blog will need the hostname to connect remotely (ie database.example.com). If you don’t know the db_host you’ll have to email them.
As Kafkaesqui said, not all hosts allow remote connections. Email your database host to find out if they do and how you can set that up. If you’re the play first, email later kind, check your server admin panel’s database section and see if it has anything about remote access.

In reply to: 1.5-gamma to 1.5 strayhornIf your blog and WP admin files are installed into different directories then you need to add this line to your root index.php file (not your theme index.php, but the index.php at your blog address).
define(‘WP_USE_THEMES’, true);
